La posizione centrale è la pulizia sono le cose positive della struttura!
Pros:

La posizione centrale, la pulizia

Cons:

Alcune camere erano vicine al motore del condizionatore e quindi si sentiva un rumore molto disturbante.

Pros:

El servicio fue estupendo y el lugar estaba bien equipado, aunque por el precio me hubiera gustado que al menos tuvieran secador de pelo

Cons:

Cuando llegué, las sábanas ya las había puesto otra persona y tenían algunos pelos, pero a pesar de todo, no hubo problema.

Lovely hotel in the heart of Cartagena
Pros:

Very central and one of the cleanest hotels I’ve ever been to. The balcony was very cute and the windows isolate the noise from the road fairly well.

Cons:

Sometimes the card to get into the room was a bit difficult to use but the staff was there to help most of the time.

It is nice for a 2 nights stay
Pros:

Location is perfect. Breakfast is one block away from the hotel, and it is good

Cons:

I wanted a room inside not to hear noise from the street. The room was too small, the shower was too small

Pros:

It felt really safe. The hotel was small and nice. More than I expected.

Cons:

I've visited Cartagena 4 times, so I know what to expect of the crowd. But if it's your first time, the streets will always have people on them because you're inside the Wall, but you'll be safe. Just watch your surroundings like you would anywhere else. Overall my stay here was very nice. I will return.

Pros:

A localização é boa, perto de tudo.

Cons:

O lugar é muito barulhento, impossível de dormir
O isolamento dos quartos é ruim, dá pra ouvir tudo dos quartos vizinhos também
Ou seja, não tem sossego em nenhum momento.

Könnte besser sein.
Pros:

Sehr nettes Personal, Lage gut.

Cons:

Ich hatte eigentlich ein superior Zimmer, aber es gab noch nicht einmal irgendein Fenster, dass war nicht sehr ansprechend. Personal sehr lieb, aber nicht immer vor Ort, Frühstück ist nicht im Hotel sondern ca. 5 Minuten Gehweg entfernt, wenn man morgens weg muss schafft man es nicht zu frühstücken, da diese Restaurant erst um 8 öffnet.
